Raheem Morris, who was fired as head coach of the Tampa Bay Bucs a day following the 2011 NFL regular season in which his team finished 4-12 with a 10-game losing streak, has a new job. He is now defensive backs coach for the Washington Redskins.

Morris reunited with former Tampa Bay Bucs General Manager Bruce Allen, who holds the same title in Washington, as well as offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, who was an assistant when Morris was first hired by the Bucs.

Good for him. Morris was placed in a tough situation and handled it like a professional. He’s going to continue to do big things.

As for Tampa Bay, the squad is scheduled to interview Houston Texan defensive coordinator Wade Phillips on Friday. The team has already interviewed Mike Sherman, Jerry Gray, Brad Childress and Marty Schottenheimer.
